From her journal from the Philippines Carrie writes: "Mrs. Zumaar and Mrs. Peacock both taught at the new Anglican school and invited us to visit their classrooms and we agreed... before we left the children gathered for pictures in front of the school house." Carrie also described some of the classes that she saw which included domestic skills like caring for children, and embroidery, as well as reading and math. Carrie writes: "The girls are taught embroidery at an early age to which they take naturally and before they are thro' the schools [they] do beautiful work... In one classroom we found a nurse teaching a fine class of young girls how to feed, clean, and care for babies."
